Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
συνδέω, “bind together.” For the pass. in Heb 133, the only occurrence of the verb in the NT, cf. Preisigke 5282 (iii/A.D.), where Antinous asks his mother to hand over to Antipater τὸ συνδεδεμένον ἐπιστολίδιον, the letter made up of different papyrus sheets fastened together: cf. Herodian lv. 12. 11 πάντα τὸν σύνδεσμον τῶν ἐπιστολῶν. See also BGU I. 261° (ii/iii α.Ὁ.}) γράφεις μοι, ὅτι συνδέσσου (1. συνεδήσω) τὰς χέρες Ζοιδοῦτι (but Wilcken Archiv iv. Ρ- 209 prefers to read σύνδες (= σύνθες) σου κτλ.), and CPR I. 23217 (ii/iii A.D.) τὸν [σ]υνδέοντα πῆλον.
